>>11521050Now that we see the first requirement is necessary, lets look at the second one.
"Creation was initiated by this source with a purpose in mind"
If creation "just happened" as part of a natural cycle then everything that happens within is just part of it too. Its only when this happened with an intent, with a purpose in mind we are meant to achive, a meaning for this existence is given and with it things we are meant to do and not do. Good and evil.
The 3rd one kind of belongs to the second.
"This source must be caring to at least some degree about this world"
If the source didnt care for this world he wouldnt have created it. Or to say it the other way around, since he did created it he did so because he wants something to happen here and thus has some care.
Also since we have established the morals can only come from a source outside creation this source must be involved in our actions. Otherwise, if the source doesnt care about us upholding the morality then there is no reason we should either. There is nothing.
Since we established that for a metaphysical framework with objective morality a single source is required, that wants us to do good and reject evil it leaves the question "Why did this good and creator create evil too?"
Now there are a couple example from "He isnt actually good", "he is good and evil", to "he did so by error". But I want to focus on the Christian version of God, meaning a single creator from which all comes that his perfect, allmighty and wholly good.
